Julian Bliss and the king of swing

Jim Hart (vibes)

Bliss is a member of the new breed that was smitten by Goodman and has crafted a loving tribute that’s both respectful and organic. Delightfully classic jazzbo tooting by a cat who loves his work, this is just a wonderful record from  any angle no matter where you jump in. …….a sterling example of how to make the past come alive.  Well done.
